    There are some old threads on these units, but I'm wanting one of these as well so details about install and operation is appreciated. Thank you @Sergiospl for the link to the unit. I've been stalking some on ebay but the resolution and OS seemed not as good.

    Looks great!

    As a side note, I think you're the only person I've seen (at least in the photos) that uses the 24hr clock like I do!

    Thanks. I ended up ordering from him too. Looks a lot like the units the eBay sellers are selling. Looking forward to your step by step. I suck at this kind of stuff

    I am also looking to change my prius 2014 III head unit. The one mentioned in this thread is from 2009-2013.

    Will this fit 2014 Prius?

    Thanks

    You know, all the stores in Aliexpress say 2009-2013. I am not sure but you can inquire by sending him a PM thru Aliexpress: Confirmed model number of your unit and notice mine has a 5 digit number in front also, JBL or no JBL, color(Dark grey or black), and you can obtain photos of your unit on ebay search using the model number(Instead of removing the unit).

    I received my panel tool kit one day after I installed the unit. The fast food plastic knife came in very handy after shaving off the sawtooth edge of course:D

    I guess you need to investigate your part number of the OEM unit if its the same as the 2012 then it will be compatible

    I was just thinking I will install the gps antenna just on the right side of the rearview mirror like the CT200h.

    I'm probably going to order one. Communication with Eric Chen. He had questions about my vehicle, I'm not sure how to answer:

    Here i confirm with u.
    Special requests.
    1.Device for 2010 prius
    2.Green color ?
    3.No CANBUS with 3 connectors ?
    4.100 USD value in invoice ?
    5.DHL Delivery ?
    6.Left drive.?
    I have the stock unit in my car. Here are pics of front. IMG_3472.JPG IMG_3473.JPG

    Its a non-JBL Prius. Is this what he's wondering? I think that means I don't have the CANBUS connectors because non-JBL. Green color refers to the back light of buttons? Not sure on 4 or 5. And I know I'd want left-hand drive for US.;) The bezel on stock unit looks a darker gray or black to me. There's an obvious lighter gray around the shifter piece...so would that mean the bezel on the stock HU is black? (I'm old...44...colorblind. :p)

    *** EDIT *** I went ahead and ordered it! This will be a fun project to install!! YAYA!

    We have the same exact vehicle, same OEM Head Unit/Black color bazel in 2010 & 2011 with 4 plugs. The ISO Cable of the unit has 3 plugs connecting to 1,2 & 4, ignore plug #3 of the car.
